Condolence Messages

Mary and Terry, I was saddened to hear of Gary’s passing and it flooded me of fond memories when we worked together. Gary was on call 24 hours a day it seemed and willing to help everybody he could. He persevered despite his health problems with a smile on his face for all. I hope he is resting in peace and I know that you were very proud of him. Sincere condolences,

Hello Mary and Terry,
Very sad to hear about Gary, he was a good man that my Father and I always respected and enjoyed working with. He was with me when I started my first job as a welder at the Revelstoke Dam , got me going and helped with what ever came up. A good beginning . later we would work on many other jobs and had fun, lots of laughs.
Please accept my family’s condolences.

I was saddened to hear of Gary’s death. We had seen each other last year at Hugh Booths service. Gary and I worked together assembling trucks at Finning from 88 to 95 at which time he left for a construction job on the pipeline with Jack Hammond. He was a very thoughtful person both in his work and personal dealings with others.
